EN
Obligations of
personnel
Mains connection
Protecting yourself and others
Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake:
- to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident
prevention
- to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section
and sign to confirm that they have understood them and will follow them.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to
any harm in your absence.
Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to
their current input.
This may affect a number of types of device in terms of:
- connection restrictions
- criteria with regard to maximum permissible mains impedance
*)
- criteria with regard to minimum short-circuit power requirement
*)
*)
at the interface with the public mains network
see Technical Data
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check
whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the
matter with the power supply company.
Persons involved with welding expose themselves to numerous risks, e.g.:
- flying sparks and hot pieces of metal
- arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin
- hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those
using cardiac pacemakers
- risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current
- greater noise pollution
- harmful welding fumes and gases
Anyone working on the workpiece while welding is in progress must wear suitable protective clothing with the following properties:
- flame-resistant
- insulating and dry
- covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition
- safety helmet
- trousers with no turn-ups
Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:
10
Danger from toxic
gases and vapours
- protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective
visor and regulation filter.
- wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the safety
visor.
- wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions.
- protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing
protection against heat).
- wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent
injury.
Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices are in operation or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in
the vicinity,
- make them aware of all the dangers (risk of dazzling by the arc, injury
from flying sparks, harmful welding fumes, noise, possible danger from
mains or welding current, etc.),
- provide suitable protective equipment or
- erect suitable safety screens/curtains.
The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours.
Welding fumes contain substances that may, under certain circumstances,
cause birth defects or cancer.
Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases.
Fumes and hazardous gases,
- must not be breathed in
- must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
If this cannot be provided, a protective mask with an air supply must be worn.
If there is any doubt about whether the extraction system is powerful enough,
then the measured toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit values.
The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree of toxicity of welding fumes:
- Metals used for the workpiece
- Electrodes
- Coatings
- Cleaners, degreasers, etc.
The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for
the listed components should therefore be studied carefully.
Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's
radiation area.
11
EN
Danger from flying sparks
Risks from mains
current and welding current
Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.
Never weld close to flammable materials.
Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (35 ft) away from the arc, or
alternatively covered with an approved cover.
A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use.
Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small
gaps or openings. Take appropriate precautions to prevent any danger of injury or fire.
Welding must not be performed in areas that are subject to fire or explosion or
near sealed tanks, vessels or pipes unless these have been prepared in accordance with the relevant national and international standards.
Do not carry out welding on containers that are being or have been used to
store gases, propellants, mineral oils or similar products. Residues pose an
explosive hazard.
An electric shock is life threatening and can be fatal.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
During MIG/MAG or TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the drive
rollers and all metal parts that are in contact with the welding wire are live.
Always set the wire-feed unit up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a
suitable, insulated wire-feed unit mount.
Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry
temporary backing or cover for the earth or ground potential. This temporary
backing or cover must extend over the entire area between the body and the
earth or ground potential.
All cables and leads must be complete, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads must be repaired/replaced immediately.
Do not sling cables or leads around either the body or parts of the body.
The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc) must
- never be immersed in liquid for cooling
- never be touched when current is flowing.
Double the open circuit voltage of a welding machine can occur between the
welding electrodes of two welding machines. Touching the potentials of both
electrodes at the same time may under certain circumstances be fatal.
12
Meandering welding currents
Arrange for the mains and device supply to be checked regularly by a qualified
electrician to ensure the PE conductor is functioning properly.
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a PE conductor and
a socket with an earth contact.
If the device is operated on a mains without a PE conductor and in a socket
without an earth contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such improper use.
If necessary, provide an adequate earth connection for the workpiece.
Switch off unused devices.
Wear a safety harness if working at height.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to
prevent anyone from reconnecting it to the mains and switching it on again.
After opening the device:
- discharge all components holding an electric charge
- ensure that all components in the device are de-energised.
If work on live parts cannot be avoided, appoint a second person to switch off
the main switch at the right moment.
If the following instructions are ignored, meandering welding currents can develop with the following consequences:
- Fire hazard
- Overheating of parts connected to the workpiece
- Irreparable damage to PE conductors
- Damage to device and other electrical equipment
Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area that is to be welded.
If the floor is electrically conductive, the device must be set up with sufficient
insulating material to insulate it from the floor.
If distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc., are being used, note the following: The electrode of the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is
also live. Make sure that the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used
is kept sufficiently insulated.
In the case of automated MIG/MAG applications, ensure that only an insulated
wire electrode is routed from the welding wire drum, large wirefeeder spool or
wirespool to the wire-feed unit.

EMC device classifications
EMC measures
EMF measures
Devices with emission class A:
- are only designed for use in an industrial setting
- can cause conducted and emitted interference in other areas.
Devices with emission class B:
- satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas.
This also applies to residential areas in which power is supplied
from the public low-voltage grid.
EMC device classification according to the rating plate or the technical data.
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values
for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g.
when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the
device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
Check for possible problems, and check and evaluate neighbouring devices'
resistance to interference according to national and international requirements:
- Safety features
- power, signal and data transfer lines
- IT and telecommunications devices
- measuring and calibrating devices
Supporting measures for avoidance of EMC problems:
a) Mains supply
- if electromagnetic interference arises despite correct mains connection, additional measures are necessary (e.g. use a suitable line filter).
b) Welding leads
- must be kept as short as possible
- must run close together (to avoid EMF problems)
- must be kept well apart from other leads
c) Equipotential bonding
d) Earthing the workpiece
- if necessary, establish an earth connection using suitable capacitors.
e) Shielding, if necessary
- shield off other nearby devices
- shield off entire welding installation
Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
- effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers
and hearing aids
- wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before approaching the device or any welding that is in progress
- for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the
welder's head/torso as large as possible
- do not carry welding cables and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind
them around any part of the body
14
Specific hazards
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
-Fans
- Cogs
- Rollers
-Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive components.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.
During operation
- Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
- Keep all covers and side panels closed.
The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury
(piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Therefore always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with
wire-feed unit) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment
must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be
taken to ensure that other people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be allowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion - observe relevant
national and international regulations.
Power sources that are to be used in areas with increased electric risk (e.g.
near boilers) must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must
not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before disconnecting coolant flow or return lines.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when
transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains and/or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the
load-carrying equipment.
- Chains/ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
15
EN
Danger from
shielding gas cylinders
If the wire-feed unit is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use
a suitable, insulated wire-feed unit holder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying
by hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, forklift
or other mechanical hoist.
All lifting accessories (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with
the device or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical
damage, corrosion or changes caused by other environmental factors).
The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national
standards and directives as a minimum.
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter
is used for the shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the deviceside thread of the adapter for the shielding gas connection using suitable Teflon tape.
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under pressure and can explode if damaged. As the shielding gas cylinders are part of the welding equipment, they
must be handled with the greatest of care.
Protect shielding gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive
heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure according to instructions to prevent them falling over.
Keep the shielding gas cylinders well away from any welding or other electrical
circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion - never attempt to weld a pressurised shielding gas cylinder.
Only use shielding gas cylinders suitable for the application in hand, along with
the correct and appropriate accessories (regulator, hoses and fittings). Only
use shielding gas cylinders and accessories that are in good condition.
Turn your face to one side when opening the valve of a shielding gas cylinder.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve if no welding is taking place.
If the shielding gas cylinder is not connected, leave the valve cap in place on
the cylinder.
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable national and international regulations for shielding gas cylinders and accessories.

TransTig 1750 Puls
The TransTig (TT) 1750 Puls TIG power
source is a microprocessor-controlled inverter power source.
The modular design and potential for system add-ons ensure a high degree of flexibility.
The power source is generator-compatible
and exceptionally sturdy in day-to-day operation due to its protected controls and powder-coated housing.
The straightforward operating concept
means the welder can see the key functions
at a glance and adjust them accordingly.
A standardised LocalNet interface makes it easy to connect to digital system add-ons (e.g.
remote control units, etc.).
The power source has a TIG pulsed arc function with a wide frequency range.
Functional principle
The central control unit of the power source controls the whole welding process.
During the welding process, actual readings are taken all the time and the device responds
immediately to any changes. Control algorithms ensure that the specified target status is
maintained.
This results in:
- a precise welding process,
- a high degree of reproducibility of all results,
- excellent weld properties.
Application areas The power source is used for repair and maintenance tasks in production and manufactur-
ing environments.
